Request reason:
I am a graphic design writer. The previous entry was very poorly written and lacking huge amounts of key information about Ken Garland’s career. The information added is largely collated from Adrian Shaughnessy’s book Structure and Substance, cited in the text. Interestingly, you cut out a portion of the wiki entry, a quote from the First Things First manifesto, that was in the original entry (not written by me). It is a famous piece of writing published in print and across the internet. Pudkin Books is a small-publishing house in current operation. The details I provided are facts rather than promotion. My user name was Pudkin Books as that was what I intended to add to the entry (I've never written on here before), until I got in there and felt compelled to fix it.
Decline reason:
Procedural decline: no response to our questions below. Max Semenik (talk) 10:05, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Your new name's OK, but consider this query first. Here are a few key questions:
- Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
- Do you understand conflict of interest?
- Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?
